Im interested in this topic because there are more protests that are happening this week against the government that can be added to this page.

2019 protests
On October 1 and 2, protests erupted in Baghdad and in several provinces over high unemployment, poor basic services and state corruption. Curfew was imposed in Baghdad and several Souther cities but protests continued on October 3. The authorities had also imposed an internet blackout and shut down 75% of the country's internet access. Extra security troops were deployed at Baghdad International Airport. For three days the security forces had fired tear gas, water cannon and live ammunition to disperse the crowds. The death toll has reached at 22 including one security personnel. These nationwide protests are among the largest the country has seen in decades.
